Last week my 2.0 Tfsi engine cut out suddenly (fortunately while driving slowly on a side street), would not restart and I had to have the car recovered on a low-loader.
I did a scan with VCDS (I'm new to it so I'm still nervously feeling my way) and two engine faults were listed:
1) 012425 - Signal Line for Fuel Pump Electronics
P3089 - 002 - Electrical malfunction - Intermittent
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00100010
Fault Priority: 0
Fault Frequency: 1
Reset Counter: 255
Mileage 96998 km
Time indication: 0
Freeze Frame:
RPM: 1309/min
Load: 30.2%
Speed: 0.0 km/h
Temperature: 8.0°C
Temperature: 3.0°C
Absolute Pres. 1020.0 mbar
Voltage: 14.097 V
2) 012555 - Low Pressure Fuel Regulation
P310B - 002 - Fuel Pressure Outside Specification
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 01100010
Fault Priority: 0
Fault Frequency: 1
Reset Counter: 255
Mileage: 97677 km
Time indication: 0
Freeze Frame:
RPM: 1314/min
Load: 76.8%
Speed: 20.0 km/h
Temperature: 54.0°C
Temperature: 20.0°C
Absolute Pres. 1010.0 mbar
Voltage: 13.43 V
I know Fuel Pump Control Modules are a frequent source of problems so I sourced another one (4F0906093L) second hand but nothing changed with it fitted. A subsequent scan showed the exact same information as above. The engine churns, sometimes initially fires for 2 or 3 seconds and then cuts out and dies.
I'm out of my depth here. Can anyone help with diagnosis please? I'm now suspecting that I need a new fuel pump but would like some confirmation before splashing out yet more money. Audi have quoted me £386.40 for pump 8E0919051CN plus £19.58 for a 'seal' plus £9.72 for a 'cap closure.' If I do have to fit a new pump, do I need these latter two items?
Any advice would be appreciated. Once the engine is running again I can continue trying to resolve my auto roof problems.
